In the “Musical Insights” series, country artists share their thoughts on some of their most popular tunes.

After winning the final season of “American Idol” this spring, Trent Harmon has released his debut single, “There’s a Girl,” and it’s one he says he drew from personal experience to write!

“If you would say something is ‘loosely’ based on a true story, that would not be this,” Trent says in a statement from his record label. “This is pretty tightly based. I know that’s not probably a real use of the word, but it is.

“Actually, in the writing process, I would say, ‘Alright. Here are the stupid things that I did with that particular situation,’ and we just fit it into a chorus.”
